| 1 | Developing a bacteriophage cocktail for biocontrol of potato bacterial wilt显示文摘Bacterial wilt is a devastating disease of potato and can cause an 80% production loss. To control wilt using bacteriophage therapy, we isolated and characterized twelve lytic bacteriophages from different water sources in Kenya and China. Based on the lytic curves of the phages with the pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum, one optimal bacteriophage cocktail, P1, containing six phage isolations was formulated and used for studying wilt prevention and treatment efficiency in potato plants growing in pots. The preliminary tests showed that the phage cocktail was very effective in preventing potato bacterial wilt by injection of the phages into the plants or decontamination of sterilized soil spiked with R. solanacearum. Eighty percent of potato plants could be protected from the bacterial wilt(caused by R. solanacearum reference strain GIM1.74 and field isolates), and the P1 cocktail could kill 98% of live bacteria spiked in the sterilized soil at one week after spraying.However, the treatment efficiencies of P1 depended on the timing of application of the phages, the susceptibility of the plants to the bacterial wilt, as well as the virulence of the bacteria infected,suggesting that it is important to apply the phage therapy as soon as possible once there are early signs of the bacterial wilt. These results provide the basis for the development of bacteriophagebased biocontrol of potato bacterial wilt as an alternative to the use of antibiotics. | Cuihua Wei Junli Liu Alice Nyarnbura Maina Francis B Mwaura Junping Yu Chenghui Yan Ruofang Zhang Hongping Wei | 2017 | Virologica Sinica2017,32,6: | 8 |

| 18 | K-Hyperparameter Tuning in High-Dimensional Space Clustering:Solving Smooth Elbow Challenges Using an Ensemble Based Technique of a Self-Adapting Autoencoder and Internal Validation Indexes显示文摘k-means is a popular clustering algorithm because of its simplicity and scalability to handle large datasets.However,one of its setbacks is the challenge of identifying the correct k-hyperparameter value.Tuning this value correctly is critical for building effective k-means models.The use of the traditional elbow method to help identify this value has a long-standing literature.However,when using this method with certain datasets,smooth curves may appear,making it challenging to identify the k-value due to its unclear nature.On the other hand,various internal validation indexes,which are proposed as a solution to this issue,may be inconsistent.Although various techniques for solving smooth elbow challenges exist,k-hyperparameter tuning in high-dimensional spaces still remains intractable and an open research issue.In this paper,we have first reviewed the existing techniques for solving smooth elbow challenges.The identified research gaps are then utilized in the development of the new technique.The new technique,referred to as the ensemble-based technique of a self-adapting autoencoder and internal validation indexes,is then validated in high-dimensional space clustering.The optimal k-value,tuned by this technique using a voting scheme,is a trade-off between the number of clusters visualized in the autoencoder’s latent space,k-value from the ensemble internal validation index score and one that generates a value of 0 or close to 0 on the derivative f″′(k)(1+f′(k)^(2))−3 f″(k)^(2)f″((k)2f′(k),at the elbow.Experimental results based on the Cochran’s Q test,ANOVA,and McNemar’s score indicate a relatively good performance of the newly developed technique in k-hyperparameter tuning. | Rufus Gikera Jonathan Mwaura Elizaphan Muuro Shadrack Mambo | 2023 | Journal on Artificial Intelligence2023,5,1: | 0 |
